The Task Queue REST API

About Authorization

Deprecated. New version (also alpha) with documentation available.

A new version (v2) of the Task Queue REST API (alpha) is now available. Although Google will
continue to support the older v1 version until early 2018, we recommend that you move to this new v2
version, which is also in alpha. As part of the release of the new version, the name has been changed, to
Cloud Tasks API. To use this new version and view the documentation,
you must apply to be whitelisted for Cloud Tasks API. After you are whitelisted,
you can use the new Cloud Tasks API documentation.

If Google determines that your request and the token are valid, it returns the requested data.

Some flows include additional steps, such as using refresh tokens to acquire new access tokens. For detailed information about flows for various types of applications, see Google's OAuth 2.0 documentation.

To request access using OAuth 2.0, your application needs the scope information, as well as
information that Google supplies when you register your application (such as the client ID and the
client secret).

Tip: The Google APIs client libraries can handle some of the authorization process for you. They are available for a variety of programming languages; check the page with libraries and samples for more details.
